Some of the velcro-like feelings were still lingering. I did it anyway, came out the other side. So much like living meditation. It all passes at some point. In the midst of it, it is like a mental jack-in-the box. Constantly reloading itself. Thank goodness, at some point, it too needs a rest. Thanks so much both of you for the support. A mouth shut cannot be sustained with the love of others. Such a good reminder.Elizabeth and Indiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393173439641705357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785171984551353135.post-12419269662038589102010-08-19T11:38:44.902+05:302010-08-19T11:38:44.902+05:30Ah presh...

The contrast in the photos in your post below vs. Your current emotions clearly demonstrates the roller coaster you're on. I very much agree with your friend Mark's post. The outer realm of the comfort zone has it's very obvious challenges and its quieter rewards. I know you'll find peace. You keep it everywhere you go. Take good care, and thanks for making the time to write. It helps.kjm7001https://www.blogger.com/profile/06477208089846599796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785171984551353135.post-53215894742054357672010-08-19T02:59:28.097+05:302010-08-19T02:59:28.097+05:30Bethie - Hope things are coming a bit easier.

There is a comfort zone, then outside of that a learning zone, then outside of that a panic zone. The closer you get to panic/discomfort/fear the more you learn, the closer to comfort...the less you grow and develop. It sounds like your learning a lot! Here is a quick post someone wrote with the visual attached http://www.taoofprosperity.com/fear-should-you-bulldoze-through-it/Mark Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733965149919513560noreply@blogger.com
